You can do more then you think

I was in the Army in my 20's and they used to push us, there were times when I thought I would collapse, that I could not do something, but I pushed through it and conquered it. I think one of our biggest obstacles was running/jogging 20 miles in full gear with full rucks (backpacks with 40lb) in the middle of the night, I was a road guard, which is, basically when ever our company came to a road, we would sprint ahead, and "stop traffic" so we could run by, then we would sprint to "catch up" to the jogging company, so it was like serious HIIT training.

But I did it, I beat it, I conquered, exhausted, but proud.

But I am much older now and have diferent goals.

anyway, today I was doing my elliptical and my goal was 500 cal burned and 3 miles, well I was able to push myself and get to 600 cal burn and 4 miles....a small win, but significant, because I didn't quite, I pushed myself further.

But the point is, just when you think you can't go any further or handle it anymore....you can...you can go further, you can do more.

We often quit on ourselves, the body can do more then you think, try and push out 5 more sit ups, 5 more push ups...another half mile.... you can do more then you think, never quit.
